Keep Yourself Cool While You Sleep... And Drown Out Noisy Neighbours

So, you've tried your best to get your noisy neighbours to not be quite so annoying, but nothing's worked (or you're not in a position to do anything about it). As a final option, you can try drowning out the noise with a simple desk fan by your bed, which, seeing as it's close to summer, will also cool you down.

I've been doing this for years, to the point where I hate to sleep without a fan on any more.

One of the things I experimented with for a while was a pink noise generator (see http://simplynoise.com/ for an example - basically sounds like the sea), before I eventually settled on a recorded loop of rain from www.rainymood.com

I live in a granny flat - and the doors aren't solid. They're louver doors. I have 2 fans (ceiling and upright) on all night every night - not on me (the ceiling fan is about 5m from the bed) - keeps the noise down from the rest of the house when they get up very early.
